DIED.
On the 22d of April. Lewis Halter, son of John
iseamer, of this city, aged years.
Little Halter, thou hast leftus,
And thy loss we deeply feel,
But tits God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Near stanton. on May End, of consumption,
Mrs. VIM. Yeager, aged % years.
Near Fairfield, Roc1bridge comfy, on April
Esd. after an illness of six months, Mr.. j Edgar
Wilson, in the 5ith year of his age.
He had been a consistent member of the Pres
byterian church many years, and during his en-
tire Illness sall was peace and perfect trust in
his Saviour.
On last Sabbath evening, May LIST. about 4
O'Clock, the body of little Lulu, infant daughter
of g. M. and A.. Kibler (aged nearly 21a years. J
was quietly laid to rest in the Grave Yard near
Meadow Valley. On Friday previous She be-
came strangled on a bean, after short time a
bean came out of her mouth. and the family
then supposed that she would recover, but the
supposition now is that another bean passed
into her wi ndpipe or lung, and on Saturday
evening she died. This sweet and lovely bud
in childhood's brightest and happiest hours is
nipped by the chilly frost of death, its prattfng
tongue is heard no more on earth. Snatched
from the fond embrace of parents, brothers and
sisters, its spirit is gone toanother cline to en-
joy eternal ecstacy. The parents and family
have the sincere sympathy of the entire conf
munity In their sad bereavement,

CAPT.J. E. JoHNsoN.-We published
last week paragraph from the Allegheny
Sentinel to the effect that Capt. j. d. john
son. manager of Longdale Furnace, had
been offered a Similar position at large
furnace in Birmingham. Ala. and the APP
prehension was expressed that he might
accept. We are pleased to learn from the
following statement that he will remain at
Longdale. We are gratiied at this deci-
sion. Virginia needs just such men as
Capt. johnson. and when they leave it is a
misfortune. lie is not only one of the
most efficient iron men in the State, but a
gentleman in every sense of the word. The
Sentinel says:
Cant J E Johnson. of Longdale. has de-
cided to decline theft lttering offer at Bir-
,ninpl1anl. and Will remain at Longlaie ae
Manager. This will be agreeable news to
that gentleman s friends-and makes un
necessary the publication Of card expires
siye Of the confidence and esteem enter
tanned for him by the Longdale employees
which was in type.

WILLIAM AND MARY CoLLEGE.-The
first circular for 1887 Issued by the U. S.
Bureau of Education is pamphlet OF so
pages, by DR.. Herbert B. Adams, OF the
Johns Hopkins University. on William and
Mary College, at Williamsburg, Va. The
history Of the old college, the mother OF
Southern learning, is an interesting one.
Founded in 1898 by royal grant, it is the
Oldest college in the country next to 1ar-
ward, but the rise of the University OF Vlr-
ginia and other causes led to the gradual
decline of the old college, whose influence,
however, upon Southern education and tie
learning of the country can never die out.
DR.. Adams's paper treats OF the begin
nings of higher education in the South, the
influence of William and Mary upon Vir-
ginia statesmen and the Southern States,
IFS relation to the university ideas OF Wash
ington and Jefferson, and its consequent
relation to the United States.

for the location OF an Iron Stone China
Pottery: 1t will employ some of your cit
liens and help build up.
Awaiting yours,
j. NJ. FURGEsON.
We.calnot answer the direct question
of Mr.. Ferguson as to the lands, build
I ings. or money interests. as that would be a
matter for our citizens, collectively to
consider. Butthe location of such an in
dustry would be profitable to himself if
properly conducted, as well as of advan-
tage to this community. We have close
to Staunton the clay necessary for such
work, which could be commanded at rea-
| sonable figures. On the farm of Mrs. A.
! p. Stuart there is q bed of clay suitable
for the purpose named, and we think the
specimens Of the clay recently shown us
from the farm of Mr.. T. }. Jackson and
thai of Mr.. John Southards could also be
used for stone pottery. In other localities
and in fact all through this portion of the
| Valley, The raw material can be found in
abundance and gotten cheap.
Stanton possesses advantages for such
enterprises not often found. The clays are
convenient. the facilities for transportation
are excellent, and the field for the market
is right here. Much attention is being
paid to fruit raising and dairy purposes,
for the accommodation of which the ware
is mostly used. AS to the direct inquiry
of Mr.. Ferguson, we presume Mayor
Smeltzer can.speak more advisedly. and
will communicate such information as he
may have
